Subconscious toll of crimeMONIQUE DUVAL
@monique_duval
It all happened one morning in winter. AHout Bay family was making their wayhome.Upon arrival they were accosted by three
men wearing balaclavas and armed with acrowbar. They demanded cash and two ofthe suspects took the father into the housewhere they tied him up.
Meanwhile, another suspect assaultedhis wife with a crowbar.
The criminals made off with a watch,cash, a cellphone and laptop. The woman,however, had to be hospitalised and under-go an operation on her face.
This is one of many chilling accounts ofhouse robbery provided by police. Alongwith reports such as these there are othermany horrific stories of ATM bombings,mall robberies and violent carjackings.
But as crime trends change, the affects onthe victims do so in tandem.
StressThe free counselling service LifeLine
says in a statement it is facing its hardestchallenge in 47 years.
Chairperson Glynis Depper says assist-ing victims to deal with the stress and anxi-ety caused by violent crime is currently themain subject many counsellors are assist-ing callers with.
She says while they try to keep abreast
of what is happening in the country, this is-sue seemingly crept up on counsellors andis becoming more prevalent.
In her statement, Depper outlines the ef-fects of being in a constant “high alert state”.Having herself been a victim of crime threetimes, she explains how victims often alter-nate their lifestyles adding stress to theirdaily routine without noticing it.
SubconsciousWhen preparing to drive from point A to
B, many individuals will look for the safestroute. Depper explains while this is commonpractice, subconsciously crime has condi-tioned the way we live our lives and un-knowingly we often go out of our way to en-sure the safety of our loved ones and belong-ings.
Highlighting the spate of mall robberieslast year and the recent mugging of SABCjournalist Vuyo Mvoko, who along with atelevision crew were robbed while filminga news segment, Depper says in recentyears criminals have become more brazenand their actions have many runningscared. “I would think twice about going toa mall these days. Even going grocery shop-ping could be dangerous,” she says.
Negative impactDepper believes amid the feelings of inse-
curity, fear and a response spectrum whichranges from anger and bitterness to paraly-sis, crime has a negative impact on our emo-
tional and physical well-being as well as ourrelationships.
“The main aspect is the amount of stresswe out on ourselves to ensure we are safe.This builds up and can have very bad effectson your mental well-being and could developinto a disorder if not dealt with,” she says.
Let it outThe organisation has made an appeal for
victims to get help by letting it all out.Depper says the services provided by Life-
Line are focussed on empathy and empower-ment, supporting emotional wellness, be-lieving in the soul and connectedness of hu-mankind.
“We all share the same wounds and bro-kenness – these are the things that bind ustogether – those who have participated inour training courses will attest to this.”
In her statement Depper explains LifeLinestrives to reach out and find the tools, em-bedded in everyone that will bring healingand courage.
“Our counsellors are highly trained andoffer total confidentiality. We offer both tele-phonic and face-to-face counselling.”
She encourages victims not to be brave bytrying to understand and process what hashappened on their own.
“We offer a free service and help people tojust let it out. If needed we can refer themto another organisation but the first step isto talk about the incident,” Depper con-cludes.V For telephonic counselling call LifeLine on021 461 1111, to make an appointment to see a counsel-lor call 021 461 1113.

A project in Woodstock is pairing up designers with local children to help them unlock theircreative potential. PHOTO: SUPPLIED

Get creativeNICOLE MCCAIN
@nickymccain
“You can actually do this as a job?”A bemused 14-year-old DarrenDomingos is one of five children
who recently learnt that he could make a ca-reer of design and skateboarding.Woodstock children are being encouragedto unleash their creativity as part of a socialdevelopment project called Sk8 for Gr8.Alison Parker started Sk8 for Gr8, aproject that pairs up talented designers withWoodstock children to mentor them in de-sign and expose them to skills and opportu-nities.The children have created a series ofskateboard decks, which will be auctionedoff to raise money for the children’s school-ing and Woodstock Hope – a project provid-ing afterschool programmes and workshopsfor children between the ages of four and 14.Many of the children involved in the pro-gramme come from families struggling withunemployment or addiction, says Parker.Designers TimEvans, Kaeli Justice, Taar-iq Latiff, Simone van der Spuy and GrahamPatterson have been offering workshops tothe children, teaching them to unlock their
inner artists.There is a stigma attached to what itmeans “to make it as a young professional”,Parker believes.“Kids feel they have to have maths, sci-ence and incredible marks to make it. In anutshell, they have the wrong idea.“CapeTownhas farmore to offer.With thegrowing skate culture paired with the in-credible design talent that can be found upthe road, I came up with the idea of Sk8 forGr8,” she says.The project will provide local childrenwith an outlet and away to get off the streetsand stay away from gangsterism, Parkerhopes.Parker says the project was inspired by lo-cal children in Woodstock.“I have been privileged enough to get toknow these children over the past few yearsand I have really come to see how incrediblethey are.“It is all very well coming into a neigh-bourhood and setting up cool things, but itis when you involve the neighbourhood thatchange really starts to happen,” she be-lieves.The finished designs will be printed ontoskateboard decks which will be auctioned
off at an event later this month.“A portion of these profits will then bechannelled into the education of these lovelychildren, Woodstock Hope and hopefully torun even more events.“I have no issue with dreaming big,” shesays.
After the launch, Parker hopes the projectwill gain enough momentum to grow and beregistered as a social enterprise.V The project will be launched on Friday 27 March atthe Woodstock Exchange. Tickets will be on sale forR20 online or R30 at the door. Visit the Sk8 for Gr8Facebook page for more information.
Prayer seminarCCFM will host monthly ladies prayerseminars with the next event on Satur-day 28 March from 12:00 to 16:00.
Women across Cape Town are invitedto attend and the seminars will focus onthe issues faced by women.For additional information call021 788 9492 extension 219 or [email protected].

Singer and songwriterGarth Taylor will be bring-ing some of his new songs
to Cape Townwhen he performsat Local is lekker 2015.Garth is one of three acts cho-
sen by TygerBurger readers,Smile 90.4fm listeners and Cape-Gate shoppers to perform at theannual concert, the only one inthe country where the audiencegets to choose the line-up.He’ll be joined by Dr Victor
and the Rasta Rebels and The-uns Jordaan at the Liqui-FruitAmphitheatre in Paarl on Sat-urday 21 March where each actwill be on stage for roughly anhour, essentially giving the au-dience three shows in one.Garth says he was surprised
to be chosen after seeing theSouth African acts he was upagainst and the one ones he’llbe performing alongside, buthe’s planning to make his per-formance well worth his fans’votes.South Africans first heard
Garth on local airwaves in 1998when his breakout single Why?topped charts for five consecu-tive weeks. Fans would also re-member his success with Onlywith you, If I gave you my soul,Home again, Tonight and hiscover of Islands in the stream,which he recorded with Melan-ie Lowe.He’ll have a new repertoire of
potential hits when he performsin Cape Town, though, as theshow comes soon after the re-lease of his new album, Made.Garth has been working with
producer Denholm Harding,bassist for Just Jinjer, on hisnew album which he hopes torelease at the endof February orbeginning of March.The twoworked on a single to-
gether in 2013 andGarth says: “Iloved our energy working to-gether, so we went for a full al-bum.”He says Denholm tidied up
the way he would usually workon an album. “Often I would dotoo much to a song and mess itup.”Denholm is also a “groove
musician” which Garth saysworked well for Made, but heisn’t giving too many otherclues away, except to say the al-bum will be “current sound-ing”, with something for theyounger crowds. “The music isnot reliant on production andI’ve tried to make it about goodsongs firstly.”The album is somewhat of a
bittersweet achievement for thesinger who had been quiet forsome time while his sister wasbravely fighting cancer. Hespent time with his family untilhis sister passed away in Au-gust 2013.“I spent 2014 picking up
where I left off, which includedmaking a new full album.”Garth is excited about his per-
formance at Local is lekker 2015.“It feels like summer, hang on... it is summer!” He says he gen-erally loves the outdoors so be-ing able to sing at an open-airvenue is “such a bonus”.He thanks his fans for getting
behind him andmaking his per-formance possible.V Tickets for Local is lekker 2015 withGarth Taylor, Dr Victor and the RastaRebels and Theuns Jordaan cost be-tween R130 and R160 and are availableat www.cultivaria.com or Computicket.

Kensington’s karatekids are cleaningupthe competition.
Despite narrowly avoiding closure ayear ago, Kensington Karate School hascome back to claim top spots in a recent tour-nament.
The dojo has been teaching students for 20years, with head coach Lizel Brandreth her-self starting as a student at the school at theage of 12, before taking over as the instruct-or.
The school’s youngest pupil is four-years-old, but even this did not stop her from win-ning a silver medal at the Okinawa Goju RyuKarate Do Kyokai tournament this month.The students brought home 11 gold, sevensilver and five bronze medals.
The school currently has four black beltsand one brown.
Brandreth says the school was facing clo-sure last year because of a lack of trainingfacilities. But ever since Kenmere Primaryoffered up their school hall, the studentshave flourished.
“The school aims to teach humility, disci-pline, self-control, hard work and a healthydose of fun,” Brandreth says.
“We also have a big focus on leadership,
so senior students assist junior students andeventually become officials at competitions.This helps kids develop the confidence thatcan assist students in school and throughoutlife,” she says.
“We are like a family at the dojo, we haveconcern for others, support for each other,celebrating successes. Karate also has meas-urable accomplishments such as grading,tournaments, representing their provinceand eventually international exposure.
“The sport, which has team and individu-al components, instils discipline in the stu-dents,” Brandreth explains.
“Because it takes time to master differentskills, each child is encouraged to pushthemselves to be the best they can be. Fromyoung, they are able to assist fellow peers,learn self-defenceand self-control,” she says.
But the results are not just the result ofhard work, Brandreth believes.
“We work as a team and the club membersencourage each other to perform well. Thesenior students act as mentors to the jun-iors, pupils learn from each other and notonly from me as an instructor. I try to createa safe and accepting environment wheremedals are not the only measure of success,”she says.V For more information on the dojo, contact Lizel Bran-dreth on [email protected].
